In this piece, you’ll learn more about:
- The IoT connectivity considerations we all face – Bandwidth, range and power consumption are the main ones. But reliability, cost, latency, mobility, compatibility with existing infrastructure, future-proofness, scalability and installation location also matter.
- The emergence of Wi-Fi 6E – Since 2019, Wi-Fi 6 (IEEE 802.11ax) has been improving the performance of IoT in dense environments like offices, shopping areas and buildings. It’s faster and supports 8X8 connections for both uplink and downlink.
- Wi-Fi 6E’s benefits in IoT Devices – This technology offers an added frequency band, better power consumption and battery life, faster data rates, MU-MIMO & beamforming, improved latency and enhanced security.
- The Future with Wi-Fi 7 – Maximum data rates will go to 46 Gbps and offer 4096-QAM compared to 1024-QAM in Wi-Fi 6E. It adds multi-chassis link aggregation (MLAG) and operation; coordinated beamforming; MU-MIMO 16×16; flexible channel utilisation and more.
- How to improve antenna performance – There are often challenges in finding the right antennas for seamless connectivity. That’s why having a trusted RF technology partner with varied capabilities and expert support early in the design phase is critical.
Once you have a grasp on the technology and its benefits, this deep dive will share information about the other options available like cellular and IEEE 802.15.4, while exploring considerations for antenna design and selection that impact IoT deployments. Overall, this piece provides a wealth of insight and expertise at your fingertips in one, simple-to-follow white paper.
